stimulated - Story 139039 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Unbelievable!” Sarah exclaimed, her voice vibrating with a blend of indignation and another, harder-to-define feeling. The biography, an unauthorized retelling of her life, had been a bombshell. Now, everything felt different, as if a new light had been switched on.

She spun around in her apartment, her gaze sweeping over the familiar furniture, the framed photographs on the wall. The world seemed more vibrant, more exciting.

She grabbed her keys, her heart pounding in her chest. She needed to be outside, to breathe in the air, to experience everything with a new set of eyes. Her feet moved towards the door. The energy within her propelled her forward.

Role in Research

This story is one of 1,000 stories generated for the emotion stimulated. During extraction, it was fed through Gemma4-31B and its hidden state activations were captured at 11 layers.

The mean activation across all 1,000 stimulated stories, after denoising with neutral dialogue baselines, produces the stimulated emotion vector -- a direction in the model's 5,376-dimensional representation space.
